HOUSES
5
People that live in these houses
are not neighbours. They keep thick
walls between them. The painted ones
of blocks and mortar can be jumped
by someone determined to get over.
10

Flower beds fringing a small lawn
run along them like ornate hems.
Then burglar bars of iron lacework
stretch a net if he goes further.
Those, though, can be holed by cuts.

15
The parapets that no one scales
are never seen. They are forged
of impregnable material shielding
the heart's gate like plates of armour.
No siege can conquer those defences.

20
Climbers who try, slide down unbreakable
glass. Privacy builds the barriers that
repel every assault ventured across
set borders; griefs and celebrations
kept tethered in their rightful compounds.
